Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Han Sumei’s Outrageous Move, Leave No Leftovers for Yun Zhenyue

The audience from Dragon Country was overcome with envy!

Just because of her connection to Yun Zhenyue, Lin Jiu had shot to the top in a single step?

Not only did she get the ghost manager’s personal Ghost Artifact...

She also received the highest position a human had ever held in the Ghost World, second only to Yun Zhenyue herself!

This was the supervisor of the Blood Moon Restaurant!

With an astronomical salary of 100 Ghost Coins a month!

This blew the previous record—train attendant—out of the water by several orders of magnitude!

[Holy crap, she’s a supervisor just like that? I’m so jealous.]

[If they made me supervisor, I’d totally do it for a hundred Ghost Coins a month!]

[In your dreams. You think they’d hire you just because you’re willing? Do you even know her?]

[Damn, 100 Ghost Coins! If you could bring that back, you could easily exchange it for hundreds of millions!]

[Great Cold Country bragged for so long about the 100 Ghost Coins they brought in. Turns out that’s just a single month’s salary for her.]

...

In sharp contrast...

The audiences from other countries were seeing red with envy!

This was especially true for the people from Great Cold Country, who looked like dogs that had just spotted a pile of crap!

Almost all of them were indignant, screaming that it was unfair!

It was important to know that Ghost Artifacts were also graded.

The grades were: Flawed, Blood-Stained, Dark Red, Blood Red, Calamity Star, and Celestial Calamity.

A Dark Red Level Ghost Artifact corresponded to a Fierce Ghost!

These were the most precious treasures for many Fierce Ghosts!

You could count the number of them in the entire world on one hand.

The Red Lotus Folding Fan that the Sun Country had given to their marriage candidate was their nation’s only Dark Red Ghost Artifact.

To obtain this artifact, the Sun Country had nearly gone to war with the Flower Flag Country!

They had suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties just to snatch it from the border!

[That Bloody Holy Chain is a Dark Red Level Ghost Artifact! It’s the ghost manager’s most prized possession, and he just gave it away?]

[I heard that necklace can cure any illness, including cancer! It’s a god-tier item!!]

[Who can bring that necklace out? I’m willing to pay ten million for it!]

[Ten million? If someone really brought it out, the world’s elite would be fighting to the death for it.]

[Supervisor... Why is Dragon Country so damn lucky? They’re always stepping in shit.]

[That’s 100 Ghost Coins! I used to work myself to death for just 3 Ghost Coins a month. So her one month of work is equal to my two and a half years?]

...

A moment later, holding Lin Jiu’s hand, Yun Zhenyue’s mood calmed down.

She even felt a little happy!

Not only had she found her senior, but she had also helped her.

If she had a tail, it would probably be wagging up to the heavens right now.

"Manager, it’s almost time for dinner. Are you hungry now?"

"The chef has prepared a sumptuous banquet for you. If you aren’t hungry, I can have him delay it a little."

Just as Lin Jiu, her expression complex, was slowly following behind Yun Zhenyue, the ghost foreman walking beside them gave a reminder.

It was only then that Yun Zhenyue realized the day was almost over.

Come to think of it, it seemed she hadn’t really done anything.

She had just been wandering around.

And now?

She’d wandered all the way up to the roof.

Her stomach chose that exact moment to let out a GROWL.

"Oh, right~ Why don’t you just call me by my name?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"’Manager’ and all that... I don’t really deserve it."

Yun Zhenyue suggested, taking a deep breath.

All the status and power she had came from her husband, Gu Yuan.

Being called "Manager" over and over again truly made her feel guilty!

"I wouldn’t dare... This lowly one would never dare to address the Manager by name."

The ghost foreman said in a panic upon hearing this.

Seeing the ghost foreman’s extreme reluctance, Yun Zhenyue had a flash of inspiration. "Then, in my capacity as Manager, I order you to use a different form of address."

"This—"

The ghost foreman was stunned.

In the end, she couldn’t win against Yun Zhenyue.

So, she began to refer to her as Miss Yun.

"Alright then. Since you’re calling me Miss Yun, shouldn’t I know your name too?" Yun Zhenyue chuckled lightly. "Always calling you ’Foreman’ feels a bit disrespectful."

"Miss Yun can just call me Liou," the ghost foreman replied hurriedly.

"Liou..."

Yun Zhenyue said softly.

"Actually, I don’t think you all need to be so afraid of me."

"I’m completely unqualified to be the Manager. It’s just an empty title."

"Miss Yun, you shouldn’t belittle yourself," the ghost foreman said, shaking her head hesitantly.

"Mmm~"

Seeing that the ghost foreman was still insisting on the master-servant hierarchy, Yun Zhenyue wrinkled her little nose in frustration.

Since the Blood Moon Restaurant was her husband Gu Yuan’s property, she also wanted to build a good relationship with these subordinates.

The first step, naturally, was to become friends.

Suddenly, Yun Zhenyue thought of something.

She took Liou’s hand as well.

’I can’t show favoritism. If we’re going to be friends, I should hold both their hands.’

"Miss Yun, you—"

When she felt the warmth of Yun Zhenyue’s palm, the ghost foreman’s body instantly stiffened.

She carefully retracted the yin energy within her body.

A feeling of being deeply moved blossomed in her heart.

The Manager didn’t look down on her for her low status.

She had taken the initiative to touch her.

The ghost foreman suddenly felt the urge of a warrior willing to die for one who truly understands them!

At this moment, Yun Zhenyue held the supervisor’s hand in one hand, and the foreman’s in the other.

The three of them looked like the best of friends.

They slowly made their way down from the roof.

...

As night fell, the red mist hanging in the air grew thicker.

The workday at the Blood Moon Restaurant came to an end.

Watching the customers leave one after another, the women, who had been busy all day, were mentally and physically exhausted.

Their stomachs had long been rumbling with hunger.

THUD!

Han Sumei threw the mop into a corner.

Her face alternated between pale and flushed.

She had originally thought cleaning the toilets wouldn’t take long.

But who knew some of the ghosts could be so filthy and rude.

’Didn’t they see I was mopping the floor?’

’They just came in and dropped their pants.’

’It was an assault on my eyes!’

One ghost even chuckled mischievously, its butt spraying everywhere like a showerhead.

Han Sumei could only pinch her nose and reluctantly go clean up the filth.

Furthermore, her "Shovel Shit" skill proficiency had skyrocketed today!

A few more days of this, and she might even reach Expert level!

If it were any other skill, Han Sumei would have been showing it off long ago!

But she kept this particular skill a tightly guarded secret.

It was too humiliating!!

"Some ’identity card.’ I’m just a janitor."

"Damn you, Piao Dagen! I, your mother, will not rest until one of us is dead!"

When she arrived in the main hall, she discovered that the restaurant hadn’t prepared any dinner for them!

The ghost employees, like the accountant and manager, were all eating on the second floor.

What was left for them...

was only the cold scraps and leftovers from the customers!

Staring at the leftovers, which looked like something a dog had chewed up and spit out—a bizarre assortment of rotting meat of unknown origin—the reek of decay filled her nostrils.

Han Sumei was so angry she could feel her teeth grinding!

"This is what the restaurant gives us to eat?"

"Even a dog wouldn’t eat this garbage!"

Han Sumei complained angrily to the other women.

Yamada Aiko remained expressionless.

She had two steamed buns hidden in her clothes, planning to eat one herself and offer the other to Yun Zhenyue.

But what puzzled her was that she hadn’t seen a trace of Yun Zhenyue all day.

’Could she have been killed by the ghost foreman?’

This left Yamada Aiko with mixed feelings.

’If Yun Zhenyue was really killed, then it would prove I was overthinking things.’

Just as Yamada Aiko was pondering this, she was caught off guard by Han Sumei trying to incite the other women to go demand an explanation from the chef.

"Why don’t we all go together and find the chef? He must have embezzled our food allowance!"

Yamada Aiko’s face was full of disdain.

’Go find the chef? If they actually found him, they’d probably piss themselves in fear.’

Sure enough!

After hearing Han Sumei’s words, the other women just looked at each other.

Not a single one was willing to take the lead.

In the end, driven by unbearable hunger, they had no choice but to start eating the scraps and leftovers one by one.

What stunned Yamada Aiko even more... was that Han Sumei had come up with another outrageous idea.

"Everyone, don’t just grab! I’ll distribute it!"

Han Sumei shouted, standing in the middle of the women.

"One table per person! The one from the Flower Flag Country, you go over there. The one from the Monkey Country, you take the corner..."

"Hmph hmph~ Now we’ve all gotten our share of food. Let’s not leave any for that bastard from Dragon Country."

A cold sneer, as if she had just gotten her great revenge, appeared on her face.

"She must have been punished by the ghost foreman and spent all day doing dirty, exhausting work."

"When she gets here and sees there’s nothing left, she might just burst into tears of despair, haha."

"Everyone, eat up! While it’s... hot!"
